So I've got a painter all lined up, and just need to get the parts off the bike and up to Vancouver, WA to be painted. I got lots of great feedback regarding taking the bike apart, and it didn't sound too bad, so I've jumped in and went for it.
I'll keep adding pictures as I get more and more parts off.
Step 1: Remove the seat. Moderate to difficult. Approximately 6.5 hours work.
Ok, next I removed the bags, and then the rear mud guard. It actually was quite straight forward. There were some funky star shaped screws that I had to go and buy a special tool for, and then some of the bolts required a socket on both sides, slid through a little hole on the back side of the mud guard, but otherwise, very straight forward. Then I just unhooked the wires and slid them out of their little metal bendy clamps. Here are pics:
Maybe I should drive it around like this???
Side panels are next.
